Cagayan de Oro has lots of different and exotic foods to offer,cheap,affordable,however,its sad to say the preparation of the food is rather bland.
In a nutshell
if ya have a choice, go for supercat, it means shorter cut of travel period!!

missmarianne Says: the town is "chillaxing" and it makes you appreciate what you have as it gives you a closer view to the simple way of life people residing and "businessing" around. There is only one SM (Ph's super mall) and mostly are small shopping centers that doesn't depict luxury....

lekimumu Says: After our adventurous river rafting activity, we still had the afternoon free and so we decided to go zip-lining. Our hired jeepney driver referred us to Mapawa Nature Park because they have 6 courses for zip-lining there compared to the single 120 meters zip-line at...
River Trek & Cayoneering @ the Mapawa Nature Park

honeymoon4ever Says: This is a cave that you can reach way,way,way down thru a very steep and slightly unsturdy staircase. A real nature's asset,you feel as if you're an ant amongst the very tall trees that surrounds you.There's even a river here but not safe to swim in. This is also a preview...

White water rafting is pretty safe even though it can get wild. Just remember the following tips to avoid injury:
1) Follow the guides instructions in paddling. Unless they say "hard forward", don't overexert yourself. You might need your strength later on for when it really matters.
2) Never lose your hold on the T-grip, even if you're not paddling. This can easily fly away and knock someone else unconscious or worse, bleeding.
3) Getting overthrown by the rapids or having your boat flip upside down is part of the fun. But this is unexpected, you might be gulping water, too. Don't panic, just hold your breath and wait for your body to float up. The guides will get you; they know the terrain pretty well.
4) Float feet first when you get overthrown. This is so you can protect yourself from the rocks, although strong currents will avoid that anyway.
5) Try paddling simultaneously to achieve balance and stable movement. You can do this by counting.
